Episode 136: Harnessing the Power of Vulnerability with Dr. Charu Gupta

We receive messages in our medical training about what it is to be a physician. One message many of us receive is that we must be superhuman, hiding our feelings and needs. Join me and my guest, Charu Gupta, MD, as we talk about being vulnerable. What are the potential benefits? What does being vulnerable as a physician look like?

Dr. Charu Gupta is a clinical assistant professor of cardiology in Chicago. She has a special interest in heart failure and women’s health.
